Specification forming part of Letters Patent-N '0. 52,257, "dated J anuaryBO, 1866.
.Method of Attaching Rollers or Casters to Articles of Furniture; and I do hereby declare the following to be a-full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to -the accompanying drawings, in which- Fi'gure 1 is a perspective view of a table with rollers attached according to'my system. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a table for a sewing- -machine with my rollers applied, operation The nature of my legs of furniture that when the article stands level upon its feet the rollers or casters will not touch the floor, but when one end or one side of the table be raised up a little the weight will restupon the wheels or casters instead of the feet. f
That others may understand the nature of my invention, 1 will more particularly describe it.
My invention is more particularly applicable and useful when applied to such articles as require to he movedfrequently and yet require to stand very steady and firm upon the the feet. Of this class may be mentioned, particularly, sewing-machines, which, when not in use, are commonly placed in a corner to be out of the way, but which require to be brought near the light when used. Articles of this kind are heavy and inconvenient to move, particularly so to the female members of the househ'oldmho are usuahy obliged to movethe ma chine.
' While it may be more especially useful upon inven'tion consists iii-.50.. attaching or applying rollers orcasters to the tion may be endwise or sidewise of the table, and it maybeupon only two. of the feet, if preferred; as\when the table is being moved upon the rollers it can never rest upon more than two at one time. a
At the outer end of the projection B the roller or caster wheel G is attached in such a position and manner'that the lower edge of the wheel will just failto touch the floor'when the table stands level, or with all its feet upon the floor. If, then, the oppositeend or side of the table be raised, the weight will rest upon the Wheels, and the article, may be pushed forward upon the rollers to any part of the room desired.
If itis desired to attach rollers or casters to articles not originally designed for them, they may be attached by means of a suitable plate, D, Figs. 2 and 3. The roller 0 or caster E being first attached to the plate D, the latter is attached to the footof the table by suitable mcans, as by screwing it fast, as represented. i
I am aware that casters have been made adjustable, so that the table or other article of furniture should stand upon them or upon the solidfeet, as desired.
I am also aware that two of the legs of anarticle of furniture have been provided with casters while the other two were not so provided, so that by raising one side the table might be wheeled upon the casters but I am' not aware that casters or plain rollers have ever been attached so that when level the solid feet should all touch, while whenone side w.
